Head to Lapland for snow, Northern Lights, and plenty of reindeer (Picture: Getty)

If you’re fed up of the office and counting down the hours ’til your favourite time of year, Christmas, just go ahead and quit your job now – we’ve just found your dream career.

Over in Finnish Lapland, Santa is looking for helpers.

At SantaPark Arctic World, Father Christmas needs a load of hardworking elves committed to helping visitors and spreading festive cheer.

An ideal helper will have great language skills, particularly in Spanish, Russian, French, or Chinese, a ‘customer-oriented attitude’, and, we imagine, a love of snow, reindeer, and all things Christmas.

The job is part-time and seasonal, so it might not offer the five-year career plan you’re after, but it’s a pretty fun way to spend a few months.

As one of Santa’s helpers, you’ll get to gaze at the Northern lights while going on husky sled rides, feeding the reindeer, and helping visitors around Santa Claus’ own Home Cavern, SantaPark, and Santa Claus Secret-Forest Joulukka.

The job listing doesn’t specify how much helpers get paid, but we imagine perks will include mulled wine and gingerbread.
